Norwalk "Hollywood" Connecticut

So about 15 minutes ago I was driving back to work from lunch (yeah, I know, late lunch) when I experienced for a few seconds a feeling that I haven’t felt since 9/11. I saw something that didn’t look real for a second.

On the other side of the street I saw a car approaching with what appeared to be a well-dressed, life-sized mannequin on the hood. Blue shirt, light colored dockers. As the car passed and I turned my head to track the hood ornament I realized that it was a real person. Not only was it a real person, but that person looked pretty unhappy. He was pointing through the windshield at the lady driving the car… ineffectively screaming at her over the expected wind noise.

It looked like he might have been a car salesman and she was trying to steal the car. Or maybe they had just been in a small accident and she decided to just drive away.

But anyway… just a little afternoon strangeness.

But on to better things. I was forwarded a link to the Solar Death Ray today. It REALLY makes me want to build something like this. I really envy people who have access to woodworking facilities.
